<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collecting Nut, post: 2534293, member: 74863&quot;]I collect the $2.50 Quarter Indian Head Eagles so I&#039;m not quite up on the Eagles but here is what I do know or think I know. President T. Roosevelt wanted to revive American coinage during the early 1900&#039;s so he had Augustus Saint-Gaudens redesign the coin. Saint-Gaudens redesigned the $10 Gold Eagle using the same Liberty Head design dating back to 1840. The new $10 Eagle would feature an obverse portrait of Miss Liberty wearing a Native American style headdress. The reverse is an American bald eagle standing on arrows surrounded by an olive branch.</p><p><br /></p><p>There would be three types of 1907 $10 gold eagle coins, with two types ranking as quite rare:</p><ul> <li>Type 1-1907, 500 minted, wire rim with periods – $18,000</li> <li>Type 2-1907, 40 known to exist, rounded rim, periods before and after E PLURIBUS UNUM - $56,000</li> <li>Type 3-1907, 239,406, no periods – $800</li> </ul><p>You have Type 3.</p><p>Melt Value-$634.87 at today&#039;s current market price</p><p>Metal Content-0.48375 oz</p><p>Face Value-$10.00 USD</p><p>Mintage-239,946</p><p>Issuing Mint-U.S. Mint-Philadelphia</p><p>Year Issued-1907[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
